For example: in London alone in the early 70s, I walked 10miles to see the Tower Bridge, then walked back to a rented room. In Mallorca, I took the tren to Puerto de Soller, saw a mountain, then climbed it and snapped a pix, then discovered, oh, there's a road! I've been wearing Keen boots for more years than I can remember. So recently when the lug that holds the shoelace, cracked in half, I looked high and low online for a shoe shop that could fix my boot. Finding this little shop wasn't too much of a problem, and after giving him the shoe, he looked at it, then simply asked when I wanted it done. If you want it fixed tomorrow, then it will be done tomorrow. WoW!! Impressed was not the word of the moment; I was impressed! I'll be picking it up in a few days. Will update when it's picked up in a few days!

Said it would be done on Saturday. I went in to pick it up and he was on vacation. Woman there couldn't find it. When she finally did, he had put the wrong buckle on and only one of the tabs. She finally found the right buckle, but when I finally went in, after he came back, it was the worst job I had ever seen. He never cut the belt down so it could fit through the buckle. Would never go back, or recommend this place to anyone.

Actually I think I went during a chore to pick it up on Wednesday; not only was it ready, it looked as good as new! Impressed and happy were the emotion felt upon seeing the shoe!!

I stopped in to see if he could resole my boots. I had two pairs of boots that needed resoled and…read morethe sevice was outstanding. He asked if I could wait two weeks as he wasn't certain he had the correct materials. Turns out he pulled off both pairs in two weeks and the service requested was completed with a high degree of quality. The value of having it done local is much better than shipping the boots back to the manufacture for warranty repair as well. I wear my boots everyday and walk a lot so it was important to me that the service requested was done correctly and quickly. He was able to accomplish the job on both.

BUYING NEW SHOES IS FOR SUCKERS…read more Why on Earth would anyone throw out a pair of old shoes because the soles had worn when the Village Cobbler can fix them for you for dirt cheap, and possibly even improve them? I brought in a pair of Merrill hiking boots I use for work. I love these boots. They're comfortable, lightweight and have a Gore-Tex liner in them. I have had them for years, and the soles where run down so thin that everywhere I walked you'd swear I was walking on banana peels. Village Cobbler was able to removed the stock soles and installed for me -- get this -- rocket power boot soles that allow me to fly around like Iron Man. Ok, they don't sell rocket powered boot soles, unfortunately, but I did get Vibram soles installed for $50. Not a bad deal, right? More importantly, they look and feel great. I was so impressed with the work that I immediately dropped off another pair of boots for another re-sole job. I plan to drop off a third when there finished as well. So, for now I will scratch the rocket boots and stick with the Vibrams.... At least until my FAA license for rocket boots gets approved, and I can afford to pay off the loan on my coffin.

Womp womp womp. I was a little skeptical to drop off my husband's suit here just based on the not…read moreso hot yelp rating. I ended up dropping it off anyway because we were recommended by a family friend. Originally, the woman at the counter said that they would not be able to have to suit done until Monday. I mentioned that I needed it for tomorrow and she went in the back to check with the cleaners, and then she came back out and guaranteed that it'd be done by 5pm today. To give them a little extra time, I stopped in around 5:50pm to pick up my items. The girls at the counter were very friendly. However, on the suit jacket and the dress shirt were ready and they told me the pants wouldn't be ready until Monday because all of the cleaners went home early. I'm not too sure why all the cleaners would go home early without all of the orders being done. Also, there was no manger on staff for me to speak with to resolve the issue. So, I asked for the pants back at least so that I could wash and press them at home. The girls couldn't find the pants... so I had to wait nearly a half hour before they could find them. When I asked if I could get a refund on the pants because they weren't complete, the girl mentioned that only managers are able to provide refunds. The only upside of my visit was that the staff was friendly and respectful. Unfortunately, the cleaners simply weren't efficient.
